Welcome to our wiki for the Pros and Cons of Standardized Testing


This wiki is a space where you can consider the perspectives of various education stakeholders in regards to standardized testing. Each page (Administrators, Government, Parents, Students, Teachers) has a Pros section and a Cons section. We ask that you each add a note or two to a section of your choice. If you notice one section is getting overloaded (such as the Cons on the Teachers page), please add to a different section to help us all consider the multiple perspectives. When you have added to the wiki and read through the five pages, please return to our main site by closing out this window.

How do I do all that?

  • Navigate through the site by clicking on the items under the All Pages menu on the left.
  • For each page, you can directly edit the text by clicking the Edit tab in the top right corner, doing your business, and then clicking the Save button in the tool bar - no login required!
  • Presto! You are making connections, constructing your own knowledge, synthesizing information, and giving us a way to assess FOR learning.
